    try out the wheelcheck program - the results are saved to a text file and can be imported into a spreadsheet to see the performance of the wheel

    That is a neat little wheel - it must have quite a bit of torque.

    Unfortunately it is not a direct drive wheel

    I would be interested to try it and see how it feels compared to a DD

    Is the difference so great that it is worth the over price?
